Sinitsin: It Will Be Difficult to Bench Safonov at PSG

Former "Krasnodar" goalkeeper Andrey Sinitsin shared his thoughts on Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov's performance for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the Intercontinental Cup match against Brazil’s “Flamengo.” “Matvey has proven he deserves this opportunity through his hard work.

He made full use of the opportunity given to him. It will be difficult to bench Safonov, even though the coach has a rather unique character.

However, Matvey has earned his right to play on the field," Sinitsin’s words were quoted by “Chempionat.” In the Intercontinental Cup, PSG and “Flamengo” ended regular time with a 1-1 draw.

In the penalty shootout that followed, the Parisian club emerged victorious, winning 2-1. Safonov saved four penalty shots from the Brazilian side and was named the best player of the match.
